Quote of the Day: Martin Luther King Jr.
We know him as the civil rights activist who increased the rights of African Americans, but some may not know that MLK Jr was also a Baptist minister and devout man of god. Here is one of his most inspirational quotes:
“If you can’t fly, then run, If you can’t run, then walk, If you can’t walk, then crawl, but by all means, keep moving.” –Martin Luther King Jr.
The entire speech this is taken from is incredibly powerful and worth engaging with for people of any or even no faith:
No, he wasn't a devout man of God. He was a godless man who liked to have sex with prostitutes and beat them up. He was having multiple affairs on his wife at the time he was murdered.
He was also a communist who thought companies should be forced to hire black people based on the number of them that lived nearby regardless of their qualifications or the company's needs.
He committed plagiarism to get his doctorate.
Even his name was an assumed name and not his legal name.
The media whitewashed his real record and a judge sealed his FBI records.
I didn't know about any of your claims, but it seems like most of them are based on rumour rather than fact. https://www.snopes.com/history/american/mlking.asp
